Just a quick post about one last opportunity to get out and enjoy some live theater in 2023. The last week of December and the first week of January are always slow periods in theater. Giving actors and bloggers time to speand with family and loved one and recharge the ol’ battery a bit. As much as I love covering the theater beat so to speak, I do value this time and especially look forward every year to finding something to see in the interim that I can just go and enjoy. This year several of my fellow bloggers and I are planning to see one of our favorite local groups The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society (the MORLS) perform classic and original radio script live on stage at Crooners Supper Club on Thursday December 28th. I’ll be joined by Jill Schafer of Cherry and Spoon and the Jackson Sisters Carol and Julie who you may know from their blog Minnesota Theater Love or their Barbershop duet singing act. These shows are so much fun and a nostalgic glimpse into the past and a performance style that is becoming a lost art. Aside from performing all of the roles, the cast of four Shanan Custer, Joshua English Scrimshaw, Tim Uren, and Eric Webster also create all of the musical accompaniment and sound effects live on stage. I highly recommend these shows and below is the lineup for Thursday’s performance along with a link to purchase tickets. If you make it out to Crooners on Thursday be sure and stop by the Twin Cities Theater Bloggers (TCTB) table and say hi, get selfies with your favorite blogger, and we are always happy to autograph any TCTB merch for our readers. You can also listen to our interview with the MORLS on out podcast Twin Cities Theater Chat the link to that episode is here: https://bit.ly/TCTCMORLS
